Prince had a song called “Style” in which he said, “Style is the face you make on a Michael Jordan dunk.” Well, I just made that face when I realized that Obama/Biden have the support of Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Andy Griffith—Opie, the Fonz and Sheriff Taylor.
What optimizes Americana in the 50s and 60s more than Happy Days, and the Andy Griffith Show is synonymous with small town charm (okay, where were the Black folks.) Do you remember the Fonz supporting Dwight Eisenhower with “I like Ike, my bike likes Ike.” Of course, these guys are characters from T.V. shows but it says something good about “change” anyway.
Georgia Democrat Congressman Jim Marshall still does not support Obama/Biden. I have been patiently waiting for him to come around—no October Surprise from Marshall. Obama has Senator Sam Nunn, Secretary Colin Powell and Ike’s granddaughter Republican Susan Eisenhower but no Jim Marshall.
The October Surprise has given way to the November Empathy: let Jim Marshall lose. His conservative voice would have been helpful to Obama or Clinton but he did not lift a finger to help. To add insult to inquiry, he still gets the benefit of thousands of new voters than the Democrats registered in his district—without his help. As Deputy Barney Fife use to say in Mayberry, for this type behavior “nip it in the bud, nip it, nip it, nip it.” To have loyal opposition from the Republicans is understandable, but to have the Obama White House assailed by someone the Obama supporters put in office—no.
But, don’t put it on Congressman Marshall; new and old voters need to study the whole ticket. Herman Cain tried to tell the community “They think you are stupid.”
